Season 2 of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, the latest entry in the classic sci-fi series, is scheduled to release worldwide on Netflix in May 2022. The opening theme, “Secret Ceremony,” and the ending theme, “No Time to Cast Anchor,” will be performed by millennium parade, the artist responsible for “Fly with me,” the opening theme of season 1 and theme song of the film Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Sustainable War. Millennium parade’s debut single, which included “Fly with me,” topped the Oricon Weekly Single Ranking upon its release, a first in the history of the series.

It was also announced that the opening video will be produced by PERIMETRON, a creative label that includes Daiki Tsuneta and other members of millennium parade, with direction by Shu Sasaki and Yuhei Kanbe, also members of millennium parade. It is extremely rare for the same artist to produce both the theme song and the opening video, demonstrating just how unique millennium parade is.

Continuing from season 1, the soundtrack will be composed by Nobuko Toda and Kazuma Jinnouchi, who also worked with directors Kenji Kamiyama and Shinji Aramaki on ULTRAMAN, with music by FlyingDog. In the season 2 trailer released this past week, you can listen to the opening theme “Secret Ceremony,” so please check it out.

Daiki Tsuneta of millennium parade commented as follows:

“Ghost in the Shell is very special to me. In one sense, it’s like a home ground for me, but at the same time, it’s a series that I’ll always admire. I’m delighted and honored to have been asked to work on season 2 of this latest entry in the classic sci-fi series. It feels like coming home!”
